October 8, 2012

Last week the Transit Riders Union sent out a short survey on transit funding issues to all candidates for State Legislature positions for King County districts. Below is a link to our letter and survey questions, and links to the responses that have come in so far. Below that is a list of all candidates who received the survey. At our 10/1 Membership Meeting the TRU voted to endorse Kshama Sawant in her run against Frank Chopp for District 43 State Representative.
